2 Discussion Topics 2 Considering 60-cell vs 72-cell modules for Commercial PV Trends and developments for Commercial PV Systems Sizing arrays with regards to Inverter capacity Optimal tilt of arrays on Commercial Projects NEC 2014/2017 Rapid Shutdown for Commercial Projects Preparing for Module Level Requirements NEC2017 Jan. 1, 2019! Trends and developments for ballasted systems Aerocompact Ballasted and Metal Roof Racking Systems Example of maximizing output of a ballasted commercial PV system New Aerocompact Metal Roof offerings Carport and Canopy Solar Racking from Schletter Commercial Ground Racking Solutions Considerations for inverter placement for commercial Ground Mounts Tax Credits ITC and MACRS Depreciation Example of value of Tax Credits, including MACRS
3 60-Cell vs. 72-Cell Modules Limitations with 72-Cell modules for Commercial Projects o Last year, we saw limited availability on 72-cell panels o 60-Cell modules often lower cost per watt than equivalent 72-Cell modules o Minimum order quantities often apply for 72-cell panels full pallets or containers o Power densities typically higher using 60-Cell modules o 72-Cell panels may be restricted in areas with heavy snow load o 72-Cell panels thicker frames often used, so larger modules can be heavier per watt o Two people often required to handle 72-Cell modules, 60-cell panels are one person o More aesthetic options available for 60-cell modules, if this is a customer requirement Power Densities of modules available through AEE 60-Cell Modules 72 Cell Modules Brand Model Watts/Sq.Ft.

4 Commercial PV Design Trends Higher DC to AC inverter load ratio <120% DC:AC was regarded as the PV industry standard 130% to 135% is becoming much more common New inverters such as SMA Core1-50kW, the Fronius Symo inverters, and Outback Proharvest have high advertised maximum DC to AC Ratios designs can be up to 150% Inverters reach peak output earlier in the day, and minimal clipping during high irradiance is allowed. Inverters are not damaged by the PV Array. Fewer inverters needed for the site, resulting in lower cost to source, install, maintain, and warranty. More kwh can be generated at the site with lower BOS and inverter costs. Results in lower cost per generated kwh for the PV system. High tilt angles to the South at latitude not always ideal Higher tilts facing south result in larger inter-row shading Majority of net-metered solar production occurs during summer months Lower tilt angles allow larger PV arrays with higher energy production East/West racking solutions eliminate inter-row shading, maximizing energy density on the roof, at even lower cost and ballast weight
5 Rapid Shutdown Considerations NEC (B)(1), the PV Array boundary for uncontrolled conductors is 10 Applies to all energized DC conductors on or inside a building Conductors outside the boundary must be under 30 volts in 30 seconds Allows first responders to de-energize the high voltage conductors quickly NEC2017 code reduces the PV array boundary to 1, and has language for the voltage maximum within the array. Code update shrinks the boundary for controlled conductors to 1 Conductors outside the array must be under 30 volts in 30 seconds. Jan.1, 2019 NEC (B)(2) becomes effective Voltage within the array must be under 80 volts in 30 seconds In essence, requires Rapid Shutdown at the module level Outback ProHarvest, SMA Core1-50kW, and other commercial inverters that are mounted on the roof are compliant to NEC2014 and current NEC2017 code Outback Proharvest inverters mount under panels SMA Core1-50kW inverters easily located next to PV array SolarEdge optimizers deactivate optimizers, and cut DC power at source
6 Rapid Shutdown Considerations Meeting Module Level RSD requirements after Jan.1, 2019 SMA Power+ branded Tigo optimizers and gateways on each panel Tigo optimizers and Gateway devices for other inverter brands SolarEdge single panel optimizers (P320, P370, P400) or commercial optimizers that have two inputs (P800P) Enphase IQ/IQ+ inverters Panels with Maxim optimized junction boxes may provide Rapid Shutdown Functionality with certain inverter manufacturers (Fronius) Traditional string inverters may become limited to being used on carports and for ground mount PV Arrays NEC2014/NEC2017 Rapid Shutdown requirements are only required for roof mount solar arrays
7 NEC Adoption Map 11/1/2017
8 Outback ProHarvest Truestring Commercial Inverters 12 For both 480 VAC and 208 VAC installations PRO480-8k PRO208-5k75 Lightweight 24 lbs. per unit Two DC String Inputs with dual MPPT Tracking with Monitoring over Powerline Communications Integrated MC4 Connectors speeds installation time Arc Fault Detection for each individual DC String Robust Waterproof NEMA6 enclosure Mounted under array Inherently compliant with NEC2014/NEC2017 Rapid Shutdown requirements Outabck ProHarvest Designed AC Splice Boxes Easily combines output of three inverters One combined output circuit - 40A 3P-480 VAC breaker or 60A 3P-208VAC breaker
9 SMA Tripower Core1 50kW Inverter SMA Tripower Core1 50kW Inverter Compact, robust design 6 MPPT circuits, with two string inputs each allows 12 total strings with integrated Amphenol H4 connectors without needing Fusing for individual strings SA compliant inverter CA Rule 21, HI Rule 14H Integrated AC/DC disconnect High DC to AC ratios possible up to 150% Lift up and place directly on roof, or concrete pad. Built in WiFi access, with integrated datalogger and access to Sunny Portal Monitoring Suitable for Roof, Carport, or Ground Mount Applications Rapid Shutdown requirements for 2019 can be accomplished with SMA Power+ MLPEs
10 SMA Inverter Ready Rack Ballasted Racking Units SMA Tripower Inverters - 3P-480 VAC , 15.0, 20.0, 24.0, and 30.0 kw Units - SA Compliant for CA and Hawaii SMA ReadyRack For use with SMA Tripower inverters - Includes CU1000 combiner/disconnect - Factory assembled unit is shipped direct to job site, and crane lifted in place
11 SolarEdge Commercial Inverters SolarEdge Commercial Inverter and Optimizer System - Inverters for both 3P-480VAC and 3P-208 VAC applications - SA Compliant for CA and HI - Up to three input strings for the SE14.4kUS-208 and the SE33.3kUS Larger models will start to be available, which gang three 14.4k or three 33.3k inverters together, with a common disconnect. - Rapid Shutdown NEC use Single Optimizers, or P800P dual optimizers Reducing voltage within the array remains under NEC2017 limits. - High DC to AC ratios possible up to 145% - Since Rapid Shutdown is at the module level, inverters can be placed on wall near point of utility connection.
12 Commercial Rooftop Racking Flat-roof arrays using ballasted racking solutions Quick to design & install Fewer materials needed than rail-based systems Minimizes or eliminates roof penetrations Avoids re-sealing Easier servicing of roof Less roof warranty issues Limitations of ballasted systems Seismic-related building codes may mandate some penetrations Not suitable for roofs with greater than 5 slope Not suitable for roofs over 50 high Wind exposure drives ballast and module tilt limitations Be sure that designer and/or supplier uses correct wind loads, exposure categories, and risk factors!
13 Penetrating vs. Ballasted Penetrating Racking Roof penetrations into roof structure anchors PV array Roof penetrations must be properly sealed for array life Higher tilt angles are possible to increase module efficiency Can be installed on pitched or flat roof surfaces Lower array weight than ballasted, less roof dead load Roof maintenance requires removal of array racking and re-installation of penetrations Ballasted Racking Weight of array plus additional ballast anchors PV array Few to no roof penetrations required to anchor array Tilt angles typically <10 to minimize wind effects Pitch of roof limited depending on racking solution Higher roof loading due to ballast weight, higher dead load Array can be more easily removed and reinstalled for roof maintenance
14 Hybrid Ballasted Systems Minimally attached system can offer best of both worlds Majority of array quickly installed Roof anchor and penetration points made in key areas of array Fewer penetrations to install and flash, array still removable Lower ballasting requirements can allow systems to be installed where roof loading is a concern If penetrations are located correctly, they prevent sliding of array, and can use static friction values, further reducing ballasting requirements Optimize tradeoff between penetrations and ballast Less penetrations require more ballasting and vice versa Combination of penetrations and ballast can be best way to meet wind and seismic load requirements California and some other seismic jurisdictions will always require some penetrations
15 Aerocompact Ballasted Racking Aerocompact Ballast Racking Landscape Format connects directly to module frames no rails South Facing 5 /10 /15 tilt East/West 10 tilt - maximizes module density and lowers ballasting requirements 25 year warranty.

19 Large Ground Mount Arrays Medium sized systems can be completed with a conventional ground mount racking SnapNrack Series 200 Ground Mount can be competitively employed for arrays up to about 150 kw DC. One rack of watt, 60-cell modules with 25 rows of 4 high in landscape would result in a 30.0kW DC array, and suitable for use with Fronius Symo or SMA Tripower 24kW inverters, or three ProHarvest 8kW Truestring Inverters Ten 3 deep front piers and ten 4 deep back piers for many locations 4 racks 112 kw DC / 96 kw AC array field This array could fit in a 100 x 150 space Cost roughly $ /watt, plus galvanized piping and concrete Pile driven systems may require special engineering studies and specialized equipment rentals that can add too much cost for smaller projects
20 Ground Mount Solar Racking SnapNrack Series 200UL Optimal solution for small to medium sized ground mount arrays Four Module High Landscape orientation, typical Three high landscape also available. High module/power density UL2703 Listed Only one grounding point per subarray required On-line configuration tool to determine BOM and engineering requirements Specialized equipment not required for installation Locally sourced Schedule /2 galvanized pipe lowers shipping costs Residential installers can easily utilize a known solution for larger projects
21 Ground Mount Solar Racking Aerocompact G and G+ Series Ballasted Ground Racking Commercial and utility ground mount installations Quick install times, without the need for piles, concrete or large machinery. Install as Completely ballasted, or with optional screw soil anchors. Up to 1 MW of racking can ship to a jobsite in a single truck load. Ideal for areas that have soil issues like landfills or brownfields, areas that cannot support deep piles or excavation due to rocks, or for areas of sensitive ecological nature where excavation is discouraged. Fleece mesh can be supplied to prevent vegetation growth around the module field. This ground mount system can be designed with either a South tilt, or with a 10 tilt East/West Configuration
22 Ground Mount Solar Racking NEW! Schletter FS Series Commercial Racking Large Commercial or Utility Projects Can accommodate uneven terrain Two high portrait design typical to maximize number of panels per post Posts are typically pile driven; cement piers and ground screws available Designed for exceptional value for cost driven projects Soil sampling is required as part of the project planning process Aluminum extrusions, integrated grounding components, and component pre-assembly allow this commercial racking system to be quickly installed. Integrated grounding to UL2703 for lower install time and component count

Single and double row vehicle arrangements can be designed, either with a south tilt or an East/West orientation, up to a 20 tilt. Compatible with most module types, and are constructed of corrosion resistant aluminum. Purloins can accommodate spans of up to 30 ft. Solar Canopy Carport Racking
24 Inverter Locations on Ground Mount Arrays Inverters for Ground Mount Arrays can be located behind the panels on the ground racks to save space and simplify installation NEMA 4 enclosures of typical inverters allow outdoor mounting AC vs DC voltage drop considerations Most 480VAC-3P inverters allow for 1,000 VDC max wiring Locating inverters close to point of connection will allow typical VDC operation for array to inverter wiring 277 VAC Line-to-Neutral is 2-3 times more voltage drop and system losses vs VDC wiring Mounting inverters under array may avoid extra DC disconnects Monitoring may be easier if inverters are centralized
25 Federal ITC and MACRS Depreciation Tax Credits Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) 30% tax credit through % in % in % from 2022 on (no expiration for commercial ITC) Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) 5-year accelerated depreciation for solar assets Additional tax savings represent nearly 10% of system cost NOTE: See that your end-customer reviews these options with an accountant or tax attorney
26 MACRS Depreciation Example MACRS Depreciation Example Consult your tax professional about IRS Form 4562 in calculating the allowed MACRS depreciation for the 6 year period. 85% of the net PV install costs are eligible for depreciation Depreciation Schedule for year 1 to year 6 20% / 32% / 19.2% / 11.52% / 11.52% / 5.76% Determines the deduction. Actual value depends on Corporate Tax Rate Example: 40kW PV array, $100,000 total system cost, and 30% corporate tax rate Year one ITC Federal Tax Credit - $30,000 tax credit Tax savings resulting from calculating MACRS Depreciation Year 1 - $5100 Year 2 - $8160 Year 3 - $4896 Year 4 - $2938 Year 5 - $2938 Year 6 - $147 Net PV system install cost over 6 year period after ITC & MACRS $100,000 - $30,000 - $24,179 = $45,821 net system install price System costs drop to $1.15/watt, ~50% of project offset by tax credits This is independent of the value of the energy provided!
